3．The late 1980s found the landscape of popular music in America dominated by a distinctive style of rock and roll known as glam rock or hair metal-so called because of the over-styled hair，makeup，and clothes worn by the style's shining rockers．Bands like Poison，Whitesnake，and Motley Crue popularized glam rock with their power songs and flashy style，but the product had worn thin by the early 1990s．Just as superficial as the 80s，glam rockers were shallow，short on substance，and musically inferior．
In 1991，a Seattle-based band called Nirvana shocked the corporate music industry with the release of its first single，"Smells Like Teen Spirit，"which quickly became a huge hit all over the world．Nirvana had simply mainstreamed a sound and culture that got its start years before with bands like Mudhoney，Soundgarden，and Green River．Grunge（垃圾） rockers derived their fashion sense from the youth culture of the Pacific Northwest：a mixing of punk（鬅客）rock style and outdoors clothing like heavy boots，worn out jeans，and so on．At the height of the movement's opportunity，when other Seattle bands like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains were becoming popular，the trappings of grunge were working their way to the height of American fashion．Like the music，the teenagers were fast to accept the grunge fashion because it represented rebellion against shallow pop culture．
The popularity of grunge music was momentary； by the mid-to late-1990s，its influence upon American culture had all but disappeared，and most of its recognizable bands were nowhere to be seen to the charts．The heavy sound and themes of grunge were replaced on the radio waves by boy bands like the Backstreet Boys，and the bubblegum pop of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera．
There are many reasons why the Seattle sound faded out of the mainstream as quickly as it rocketed to distinction，but the most glaring reason lies at the rebellion，anti-establishment heart of the grunge movement itself．It is very hard to resist the trend when you are the one setting it，and many of the grunge bands were never comfortable with the fame that was brought to them．Eventually，the simple fact that many grunge bands were so against mainstream rock stardom （明星地位） took the movement back to where it started：underground．The fickle American mainstream public，as quick as they were to hop on to the grunge bandwagon，were just as quick to hop off and move on to something else．

2．The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is．Though much theory has accumulated，little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation．It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions，reason，and intuitions（直觉）．But what is the magical synthesis（合成） that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity？
John L．Lowes，in his justly famous"The Road to Xanadu，"developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question．Imaginative creation．He concludes，is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate．"there is …．the deep well with its chaos（杂乱） of accidently mixing images，but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form，and with the vision，the controlling will，which gives to that potential beauty actuality．"
The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts，ideas，feelings of the conscious activity．The imaginative vision，an unconscious activity，shines through the land of chaos，of lights and shadows，silently seeking pattern and form．Finally，the conscious mind again，through will，captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art．In this way is unity born out of chaos．
Though there can be no absolute certainty，there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel（与…．相似），to some extent，Lowes's theory of well，vision，form and will．There are at least three stages in the creative process：preparation，inspiration，work．
In a sense，the period of preparation is all of the writer's life．It is the deep well．It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind．When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer's mind，he is ready to go on with the process．Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---learning a language，learning how to write，learning literary forms．It is important to note here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea．Evidence，though not enough，shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it．It is the vision，according to Lowes，that sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form．

1．The reason I wanted to see So Young is that it's Zhao Wei's directorial debut（处女秀）．I guess I didn't expect much else．
So Young has everything a popular youth film should have：Beautiful young actors，a story about colorful campus life and involved romance，and a strong sense of longing for something past．
The leading female character Zheng Wei （Yang Zishan） enrolls at university to stay close to her childhood sweetheart Lin Jing （Han Geng）．But when Lin moves abroad to pursue his education，life loses its shine for Zheng．Until she meets the dynamic yet cool Chen Xiaozheng （Mark Chao）．
The film also features a bunch of vivid supporting characters：The school beauty who falls in love with a worthless unimportant person，the rich kid who is rejected by his dream girl，and Zheng's boyish roommate with a huge ego（自我）．
Together they put on quite a show under Zhao's direction and her smooth and aesthetic camera work．You'll find yourself laughing over their trivial yet funny life on campus in the early 1990s．As expected，the film's second half takes the audience to years later when the characters have moved on into different corners of society．But the film unexpectedly doesn't focus on the comedic vibe and turns into a serious discussion about the meaning of life and love．Through the events in their current life and flashbacks of their college years，the film describes how life has changed these characters．And that's where the film goes wrong．
The emotional change of the characters seems overhasty，If you watch the 2011youth film You're the Apple of My Eye，you'll find that the film's resonance（共鸣）with the audience accumulates from the beginning-through details like sexual fantasies and so on-and peaks in the end．In So Young，the sudden emotional touch with endless splendid lines just isn't enough to strike our hearts．
Zhao also clearly wanted to give every character a proper ending．But unfortunately she tried a bit too hard，making the film's second half feel lengthy and unedited．
Even so，given my reasonably low expectations，Zhao still gets full credits for her effort as a first-time director．Without her insightful input and observations，I think the film would have been worse．
Just as time wrinkles the skin but enriches the soul，an ordinary film may as well be the best motivation for Zhao to make better ones in the future．

Critics（文学批评家）have praised"The Sympathizer"as all exciting spy story with emo-tional depth and humor：It tells about a group of South Vietnamese army officers who escape to the United States at the end of the Vietnam War．Among them is a captain who is secretly loyal  to the Viet Cong．He reports to Viet Cong officials about the group and their lives in Los Angeles．
Nguyen came to the United States with his family in 1975when he was very young．They lived for several years in a refugee camp in Pennsylvania．They settled in San Jose，California．Nguyen studied at the University of California，Berkeley，where he earned a doctorate in Eng1ish．Now he is a professor of English and American studies and ethnicity at the University of Southern California．He has published three non-fiction books and some short stories．
The writer told the Los Angeles Times that it was important to him when the writers Toni Morrison and Jhumpa Lahiri won Pulitzers． He called their wins landmarks for writers of color and Asian American writers．Nguyen said Morrison's work influenced his choice to write for，in his words，"people who are intimate to me and not to think that I was writing for a white audience first．"

4．After more than 3，000years，a statue of the Egyptian king Amenhotep III has been erected in the city of Luxor after being knocked down by an earthquake．
One of the great figures in the story of ancient Egypt，Amenhotep III was a boy king．He became king of Egypt at the age of only 12years．He ruled at a time when Egyptian civilization was at its very height．
Amenhotep III was given statues in his honor and among them this 13-meter-high statue stood on the bank of the Nile until it was knocked down by an earthquake 3，000years ago．So for 30centuries，it lay in pieces in the field，more than 80pieces．Now the statue has been  restored  and shown to the public．There is another very similar huge statue of Amenhotep III．It was also damaged by that earthquake．And it，too，has been repaired and put back in its place．These two statues stand at the gates of the famous funerary temple in Luxor，which has another two huge seated figures of the kings．
And the background for this is just that tourism is very important to the Egyptian economy after what's been happening recently．Years of disturbance （骚乱）has hit the Egyptian economy in many ways and any improvement of that economy will need to be helped by the tourist industry．The legacy（遗产）of ancient Egypt is so much，so important to that tourist industry．And the images coming from Luxor today show just how delighted and proud the archeologists and the local people are for what they've seen today．

2．Sebastian Faulks has written many novels，including Devil May Care，the latest James Bond book．This cutting comes from a very different kind of novel called Charlotte Gray．The setting is a transit （中转） camp near Paris during the Second World War，where a group of people，including two small children，Andre and Jacob，await transport to take them to a concentration camp outside France．Although these people-the‘deportees'of the cutting-are not fully aware of this，they face certain death．
The Last Night
Andre was lying on the floor when a man came with postcards on which the deportees might write a final message．He advised them to leave them at the station or throw them from the train as camp orders forbade access to the post．Two or three pencils that had survived the camps search were passed round among the people in the room．Some wrote with weeping passion，some with great care，as though their safety，or at least the way in which they were remembered，depended upon their choice of words．
A woman came with a sandwich for each child to take on the journey．She also had a bucket of water，round which they gathered，holding out food cans they passed from one to another．One of the older boys hugged her in his gratitude，but the bucket was soon empty．When she was gone，there were only the small hours of the night to go through．Andre was lying on the straw，and Jacob leaned close to him for warmth．
Five buses had come in through the main entrance，and now stood trembling in the corner of the yard．At a long table …the commandant of the camp himself sat with a list of names that another policeman was calling out in alphabetical order．Andre heard his name and moved with Jacob towards the bus．From the other side of the courtyard，from windows open on the dawn，a shower of food was thrown towards them by women crying and calling out their names．
Andre looked up，and in a chance angle of light he saw a woman's face in which the eyes were fixed with terrible fierceness on a child beside him．Why did she stare as though she hated him？Then it came to Andre that she was not looking in hatred，but had kept her eyes so intensely open in order to fix the picture of her child in her mind．She was looking to remember，for ever．…

19．Kong Zi，also called Confucius （551-479 B．C），and Socrates （469-399 B．C） lived only a hundred years apart，and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece，but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas，and how these ideas in turn，shaped their societies．
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace，though there were more wars in Greece than in China．The Chinese states were very large and feudal，while the Greek city-states were small and urban．The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius．Unlike Confucius，Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively．Thus，Socrates was able to be more idealistic，focusing on issues like freedom，and knowledge for its own sake．Confucius，on the other hand，advised those in government service，and many of his students went out to government service．
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life："Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you．"He assumed that all men were equal at birth，though some had more potential than others，and that it was knowledge that set men apart．Socrates focused on the individual，and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom．He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior（下层的）classes．
For Socrates，the family was of no importance，and the community of little concern．For Confucius，however，the family was the centre of the society，with family relations considered much more important than political relations．
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes．
32．Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph？C
A．Socrates and Confucius had much in common，
